We thank the Vernon and District Garden Club for providing me with an opportunity to talk about irises and their special role in climate change gardens. Think Climate Change, think Iris! I enjoyed speaking to and meeting enthusiastic garden club members. Ted Baker performed the role of super iris auctioneer and helped raised a goodly amount for the club and get some fine irises into the hands of local gardeners and BCIS members.

Though the vessels themselves are of great interest for their own sake, some emphasis has been placed on the role they played in the social and economic development of the area in which they served.

  • Kaleden Hotel
    Kaleden Hotel Statement of Significance 1. Description The Hotel Kaleden was built in 1910 as one of the cornerstone buildings of the Town of Kaleden, designed as one of the leading buildings in the interior of British Columbia. The Hotel Kaleden was one of the first buildings to feature electric light, running water, private sleeping porches, and exclusive dining rooms. Opened in 1911, the Hotel operated until the beginning of World War 1 when the economic bases of British Columbia communities collapsed. The building sat empty until the early 1940’s when it was sold and dismantled. The shell of the building has since sat idle and was sold to the Regional District Okanagan‐Similkameen by Fred King in 1982. 2. Heritage Value Robert Hobson, Hobson and Associates, completed an Okanagan Similkameen Heritage Resource Inventory, in March 1988. The Kaleden Hotel was defined as a Class ‘B’ site: containing features worthy of conservation, with a total score of 80. Sites were evaluated using architectural (40 points), cultural (40 points) and contextual criteria (20 points). Points were removed for desecration. All sites were then assessed for historic, economic, institutional, and architectural representativeness. The Hotel Kaleden stages of development were classed under first fruit farming (1902 ‐ 1918), with transportation and commerce as the best represented economic activities. The Kaleden Hotel Regional Park has been maintained by volunteers and it is the desire of the community to see the shell maintained into the landscape of the park. The structure was dedicated with a plaque honoring pioneer families. Documentation Standards 1. Identification The structure is entirely of concrete construction, the concrete having a fairly rough, “board‐marked” finish, both internally and externally.
